Our Narratives Project

Introducing Our Narratives Project…

"Our Narratives Project" brings highly skilled performers, painters and cultural producers to partner with me, Heidi Jeub, in order to find ways to activate local narratives from a diverse pool of people from St. Cloud and surrounding areas. The purpose fo the Our Narratives Project is to provide the tools for local creators, at any skill or professional level, to develop a narrative that is unique to one person, or one community, so that the individuals can be confident in telling their story and truth.

This Project is a Partnership with the following artists:

Carnage The Executioner A.K.A. Terrell X (legal name: Terrell Woods) has spent a total of 30 years making music, performing as a one-man band, touring the world, and educating all ages of people from various socio-economic backgrounds. He possesses a vast range of abilities as an artist: producing thought-provoking music; thoroughly entertaining crowds during live performances; teaching the fundamentals of human beat boxing, song-writing and strengthening stage presence. 

Carnage’s minimal-rest work ethic has helped him build an impressive artist resume that extends all the way to Europe and Asia. The Minneapolis Star Tribune made the claim that “Carnage's mouth might be the best drummer in town,” referring to his human beat boxing techniques. But using his mouth for crafting music - with an on-the-floor guitar pedalboard, to display his highly-personal lyrical content over - isn’t the extent of Carnage’s strengths. The former social worker takes pride in building strong relationships with people and helping them define their identities. Carnage demands justice for all, and stands firm in his advocacy of unique self-expression.

Carnage has been hired as what some would call a motivational speaker, to tell his life story to assemblies of all ages. He emits a heart-warning, down-to-earth energy when confidently chronicling his failures, achievements and tumultuous teenage years in the foster care system. He’s also a shameless survivor of poverty, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Carnage makes no excuses for his upbringing. Instead, he draws inspiration from it to practice self-reflection. 

Carnage began living a plant-based lifestyle in 2017. His commitment to eating a vegan diet has allowed him to see the importance of showing empathy towards animals. In 2019, Carnage started a grassroots movement called Plant Based Poets. His mission is to unite lovers of music, as well as people who encourage freedom for each and every living being who depends on the health of Earth’s roots for survival. 

Carnage candidly shares his past struggles with maintaining a healthy body weight and engaging in over-consumption on every level. On his 2019 album, “Ravenous,” he’s extremely honest about often embracing negativity, over-eating and attracting whatever attention he could ingest. After losing 125 pounds and gaining a clearer mindset, Carnage believes it’s his calling to become an everlasting example of how we can all continuously strive to be better versions of ourselves.
